Comment on a shared document or college list

Students can share media in their locker (such as an essay, or an application PDF) with a contact. Once a contact has shared a document with you, it will appear under "Shared Items" when you view that contact.

Key Concept

When commenting back and forth on a shared Generated PDFs (such as in-progress applications), the conversation is preserved even when the item is regenerated. Newly generated PDFs overwrite the previous one, keeping the sharing and conversation in place.
